This is just dumb. You don't gain weight overnight. It takes at least a few weeks. Why eat so much to the point of gaining weight? She was slim at first, gain weight, the lose weight for the sake of a beauty transformation

While some people say that this is dumb, for me it's actually a refreshing take on your typical chinese manhuas. Weight and appearance is something that is still obsessively valued by our society. If it happens in real life, then it's not far-fetched for it to be a plot point in a manhua.

'Why eat so much to the point of getting weight?'

That's easy to say when you've never experienced binge eating because of stress. As someone who gained around 6kg in the past 8 months or so because of depression and work stress, I can emphatise with her situation. The FL gaining weight kinda reminds me of Yuuri Katsuki from Yuri on Ice in this regard.

Anyway, I'm just interested in how she'll get back on top of the industry. Thank you for translating!

did you read chapter 1? it clearly says it was 2 years since she left the industry after her mother dies, then a few days later, 'affair' being exposed, people then call it retribution that her 'secret is exposed' because she didn't even attend her mothers funeral(which she apparently didn't even know had happened, so it was hardly over night,the 2 months before is referring to when she got a hand of the video of that guy suppressing the news of her mother's death(which is why I say her mother died before, why else would supressing the news of her mothers death be so important), which is the time between her attempted suicide to when she went to join that opposing company, she losing weight in a short period of time is not a unheard of "phenomenon" . binge eating and high stress will change your weight quite drastically, however losing that weight isn't necessarily that hard. because once stress is relieved or depression is relieved, binge eating stops and you start exercising it can go down again quite rapidly.

there is a difference in what made you big in the first place as well.
binge eating - stress- depression - possibly medication that can have side effects of water retention etc, anti depressants commonly have this effect, illness|disease/disorders etc.

you simply being big because you eat alot despite no actual conditions above being met will take quite a bit more to get rid of(assuming you are not incurable of said illnesses or rely on the medication to live)

example, you can get something called moon face from certain anti depressants amongst other medications, this can make a person who is just slightly overweight to look extremely overweight, but this moon face side effect disappears rapidly after you stop using the medication, but it will also account for a fair bit of weight.
